Experimental Design: Environmental Contamination of Soil from Antifreeze
Introduction
In the planet, there are many external variables that affect an ecosystem. One of these variable is
antifreeze. Antifreeze is a contaminant that can pollute subterranean water, drinking water, and
it also can affect the marine and aquatic life if it is spilled in the ocean water. Antifreeze is used
